The Beautiful Pink Shirt

I once had a pink shirt
I wore with a miniskirt
I loved it so much
No one could touch
The beautiful pink shirt I own

Believe me when I say
I wore it every day
It would definitely stun
Almost everyone
The beautiful pink shirt I own

It was a bless
No one could mess
For I looked best
Always well dressed
The beautiful pink shirt I own

I never felt small
I stood tall
I could face any crowd
It made me feel proud
The beautiful pink shirt I own

Until one unfortunate day,
Bad news came my way.
Although I looked around
It was nowhere to be found
The beautiful pink shirt I owned

It was too good to be true
But there was nothing I could do
It had become a myth
Sadly with,
The beautiful pink shirt I owned

Things weren’t the same,
There was no one to blame,
It was all on me.
Yes, I am to be blamed.
The beautiful pink shirt I owned

To this very day,
It is safe to say,
I searched every place
But it is lost without a trace.
The beautiful pink shirt I owned

Couldn’t understand why
It made me cry
Soon it all made sense.
It was my confidence.
The beautiful pink shirt I owned

From that day on,
I had withdrawn.
Away from society,
Suffering quietly
Without— The beautiful pink shirt I owned.
